EAP 94.505

Branding is almost complete and all the nice PhpStorm and WebStorm icons are now in place. We still have lots of work on Windows exe installer pending, including some minor bugs kindly reported by our users

PHP completion has been reworked to include only local scope on first invocation. Just press Ctrl+Space again to see all global variants. This new behavior is a bit controversial so please let us know how it works for you

New project from remote location wizard got many fixes and some of requested options i.e. filtering download by file mask so you can easily omit .svn folders or images that you don’t need locally. Expect more features in this area in next builds.

Linux startup scrips got additional tuning including explicit warning about that OpenJDK is unsupported, so there will be a lot less chance that IDE UI is suddenly broken for you with apparently no reason.

After using the new completion for a while I must say it is bliss. Well, I did after all ask for the feature myself :), but my whole team is happy with it too. Nearly every var competion is an instant insertion now, which saves a lot of time and reduces distraction.

Sadly enough I cannot think of anything to do with completion of functions. Perhaps separate actions like “complete function/class/constant” might be of help? Do you have any plans in this direction?

I very much like this superb IDE. It is like a breath of fresh air after using various eclipse flavors (bloatware) and bluefish (too lite) over many years for PHP.

Can you reassure me that after the 45 day trial the editor will still be available for download? I’d hate to start a project and then find a month into it that the editor time lock is fast approaching and heavily involved in using it!
